My aunt is certain that I have Asperger's syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

My aunt worked with an autistic person (He has Asperger's Syndrome), my aunt has said to me that I could be autistic and I believe her as she has talked to a worker who works with people with autism and Asperger's Syndrome who agreed with my aunt with the symptoms that I could have Asperger's.

This is a bit of the email she sent me:

So anyone have any idea what my aunt means by this, I mean the characteristics part? Thanks.

But I think it might be a Non-Verbal Learning Disability, I have hemiparesis (It's a less severe form of hemiplegia and it's a type of cerebral palsy), which affects the left hand side of my body which means that the right hemisphere of my brain was affected and this in turn could cause a NVLD, having hemiparesis and poor coordination means that I cannot do what other people can do such as ride a bicycle properly, drive a car, it's doing my head in and I didn't learn how to ride a bicycle until I was 8 years old, I also didn't learn how to tie my shoes until I was 14-15.

NVLD often has similar traits to aspergers (don't know if it's really always meaningful to separate the too), and it sounds like you definitely have that.
